Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many clinical commissioning groups offer three full cycles of IVF to women under 40 years old in accordance with NICE guidelines.
The Department does not collect official data on this subject matter. However, the national stakeholder organisation, Fertility Fairness, undertakes an annual survey using Freedom of Information requests directly from clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). Information collected for 2016/17 shows that 18 CCGs offer three cycles of IVF, in line with the current NICE fertility guidelines.
